second suggested book on saturday



Without books,God is silent,justice dormant,natural science at stand,philosophy lame,letters dumb,and all things involved darkness

Thomas V. Bartholin.


This time around,saya mahu berkongsi dengan kamu satu lagi buku.Tajuknya Once hasil tulisan Morris Gleitzman.Morris sekarang menetap di Australia.Dia seorang penulis yang berbakat.

Orang cakap, do not judge book by its cover.But in reality,the cover always look very-very attractive.DUH,marketing plan kena lah well strategic kan.Penulis pun mahu cari makan.
Since cover dia cantik dan menggunakan kertas bewarna coklat berbau harum tu,jadi saya pun membelinya.Literally saying,saya dah tertipulah.

Apa yang menarik tentang buku ini ialah bagaimana seorang penulis yang berada di usia pertengahan abad melihat sejarah dari kaca mata(point of view) seorang kanak-kanak berusia 10 tahun. Sepanjang penceritaan adalah berkaitan dengan apa yang dilihat,dirasa,dialami oleh kanak-kanak itu sendiri.Nama dia Felix.

Dan saya gemar membaca buku ini dengan nada kanak-kanak.Baru dapat feel.Hebatnya Morris mengarang buku ini sehinggakan saya sebagai pembaca boleh merasakan diri saya seolah-olah
berusia 10 tahun.Narration cerita sangat jelas sehinggakan terbawa-bawa ke alam yang diceritakan dalam buku ini.Buku ini juga membolehkan kita merasakan betapa jujurnya hati seorang kanak-kanak.

Part yang paling membuatkan saya terkesan ialah apabila Barney menjelaskan kepada Felix bahawa ibu dan bapanya sudah mati.Ini kerana dari awal penceritaan sehinggalah Felix bertemu dengan Barney, dia begitu yakin yang ibu bapanya masih hidup.

Latar masa cerita ini adalah pada zaman Holocaust pada zaman Perang Dunia Kedua. Sebagai pengetahuan,Holocaust adalah zaman di mana orang-orang Jews dibunuh secara beramai-ramai oleh tentera Nazi yang diketuai oleh Adolf Hitler di Germany.Pada masa itu,Felix adalah Jews yang tinggal bersama-sama ibu bapanya di Poland.Di Poland,daripada 3,300,000 orang Jews, seramai 3,000,000 orang dibunuh.Pada masa itu,semua buku-buku orang-orang Jews dibakar.
Felix dan Barney pula adalah antara mereka-mereka yang terselamat.


Ini adalah labour camp tempat orang-orang Jews dikumpulkan,disiksa dan kemudiannya dibunuh dengan begitu tragic sekali.Felix pernah bertanya kepada Barney tentang orang-orang yang dibawa ke hutan oleh askar-askar Nazi.
Barney pun menerangkan kepada Felix bahawa orang-orang itu akan dilepaskan ke hutan dengan bebasnya agar mereka merasa gembira bersama-sama keluarga bercucuk tanam dan menternak haiwan.Padahal Barney tahu yang mereka dibawa ke hutan untuk ditembak sampai mati.

Banyak lagi benda menarik yang saya mahu kongsi,but since I am not a good writer, tak tahu macam mana mahu cerita di sini bah.


"Everybody deserves to have something good in life at least once."

I say.
Memang manusia di dunia ini lain-lain.
Tapi mereka still ada hati.
Adolf pun ada hati.

the typical tropical thursday morning rain.

What a blessing place I have here.It is raining all this morning.And the residence are not yet wake up.There are,but not all.Leaving the cold morning remain in silence and serene.Watching every drops of the rain through my window,is like seeing something so calming.It really blow me away.

Last night,accompanied by a buddy walking all the way from KK1 was such nice memory to be remembered. Halfway between kk1 and kk2 , the rain pour down out of nowhere. I suggest to go back again to kk1.But he want to keep on walking to the KK2.Yeah right,what's now?While we were busy arguing,then the rain suddenly stop.What a night.

By now,it is raining,still and gets heavier outside.Already 8.40 am now.How am I going to attend my 9.00am class?Bus is not provided in our Uni's,FYI.Ayoo..how eh?
See,when you have too much of a good things,it can turns out to be a not-so good things.

Whatever.

While starting the day with blog hopping,not to mention waiting hopelessly for the rain to at least slow down,I found this quiz from Dalina's Blog.And I think it describe myself best.

Your view on yourself:

You are intelligent, honest and sweet.
You are friendly to everybody and don't like conflict.
Because you're so cheerful and fun people are naturally attracted to you and like to talk to you.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:

You like serious, smart and determined people.
You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style.
This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:

You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person.
And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.

The seriousness of your love:

You are very serious about relationships and aren't interested in wasting time with people you don't really like.
If you meet the right person, you will fall deeply and beautifully in love.

Your views on education

Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.

The right job for you:

You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income.
Knowing what you like to do is important.
Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.

How do you view success:

You are confident that you will be successful in your chosen career and nothing will stop you from trying.

What are you most afraid of:

You are concerned about your image and the way others see you.
This means that you try very hard to be accepted by other people.
It's time for you to believe in who you are, not what you wear.

Who is your true self:

You are full of energy and confidence.
You are unpredictable, with moods changing as quickly as an ocean.
You might occasionally be calm and still, but never for long.



Having good time with Rokiah Wanda @ Rocky


p/s:And tell me why you said God is good?
Because He stop the rain at 8.55am just before I off to class.


Falling Leaves

Grateful that you have such a wonderful and memorable childhood.Grateful that you have such a lovingly care and tender you from the birth to now on.For her story is full of fear, isolation and humiliation.

After 2 very- attentive- day reading of this so-called autobiography of Adeline, I just cannot bear the floodgate to open.So many times in her childhood, she was the unwanted children in her family.Not the type that mom and dad pleased to see.None of her action ever caught their attention. Even their parents try their very best to send her to some boarded school where she often treated as an orphanage.

Of all the hardness and unfair treat life approach her,she refuse to give up.And now she must enjoyed her life at its best in America.

Here is link to her site

So,I strongly recommend you to read this.
